Reverse Engineering Snapchat: Obfuscation Techniques

Snap is not usually something the user scrolls through all day (akin to FB/Insta infinite scroll); it's typically send a message or nude/recieve a message or nude and then backgrounded.

There is a rare case where people watch clickbait ads for hours but that's usually plugged in laying in bed with nothing better to do

I very much beg to differ. Spend some time around the younger generations and you’ll see that you will have a hard time getting them to look away long enough to realize you’re even there.

I am one of them - Snap is generally not a "browse forever nonstop" engagement tool that's typical and standard behaviour for TikTok/FB/IG, it's actually somewhat used as a messaging tool (not that it precludes an excessively high volume of messages and groupchats)

Well then I guess the others I see non stop using it must be figments of my imagination then and that somehow this all means obfuscation is now efficient. Also go search google, a 2 second search disproves you.
